there are some backup> transfer extensions for joomla (e.g. akeeba backup) that use ftp to backup/clone a site to another location. they’ve worked everywhere I’ve ever used them…except here…and that’s probably for good reason (since there are risks of course).
how can I make this work for the short time and disable later, yes, I know not particularly safe.
joomla is trying to use an ftp user on port 21, 127.0.0.1, (and I’m using a valid sftp user). but it fails. help me with some basics someone!!?

I’ve complete this (using Joomla3) by using SFTP without installing
ptoftpd.To install it on Ubuntu 14.04 (in my case):
Then use SFTP:
host: localhost port: 22 user: root pass: <your pass>
Try installing ProFTPD: <br> <br><a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-proftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-proftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04</a>
